Regarding public domain books

[Jon Kennedy]

Has anyone looked into publishing books from the public domain? I'm interested in finding out more. Pat O'Bryan recommends trying this first to get started. I really like home publishing and photography. Which web sites are available for public domain books? Thank you so much!

Jon,

Here is a link for you with Public Domain.

Remember that Joe took a few books that the rights had expired, and he updated them. One was for Norvell, an author who wrote many years ago, and is not around anymore. The other was for PT Barnum, which he wrote a new book about his life and business philosophy. It ended up being his first major bestseller. It surprised Joe, as he never thought anyone would be interested in the book.

Same thing happened with Joe's book "Spiritual Marketing". He was reluctant to tell anyone about it, for fear of ridicule. Bob Proctor pushed his book into the light, and told a seminar audience about it. Joe was shocked when there was a stampede of people who wanted the book! A book Joe was not willing to show the public.... until Bob made it happen.

That book is now "The Attractor Factor". Very powerful book, and it outlines the step by step formula for applying The Secret to your life...

I highly recommend it, as I have both the book and the audio CD of it to listen to while driving my long commutes to work...

I also want to write my own books...

You can start with Public Domain, but with your OWN creative book you own the rights 100%, and you can end up an expert in your specialized field...

What is your biggest passion? What subject excites you more than anything else in the world? Can you write it from your heart? THAT is the book to write...

Joe's Spiritual Marketing book was originally intended for only ONE person, his sister who was struggling with poverty and living on welfare. That book changed her life...

Just ask Pat about it. I am sure he will tell you an insight or two about that story.....

A free ebook is available in the Library section of my magazine, The Internet Wizards Magazine, titled "Public Domain Profits." Will Edwards explains what the public domain is, how to use public domain work to create an ebook and how to sell it. It's available on this page:
